Programs & Services

Breast Cancer Action Kingston is a resource centre for breast cancer information, serving Kingston and surrounding communities from Belleville to Brockville, and points north. It is essentially the same area covered by the Cancer Centre of Southeastern Ontario.

BCAK is committed to research and advocacy directed towards prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. We are dedicated to educating women, men, the public and physicians about the importance of self-examination and the benefit of early detection. We are committed to providing support for patients, survivors and their families as they cope emotionally and physically with breast cancer.

We offer a wide range of programs and services for women and families living with breast cancer. Our organization also provides wellness information to groups within the community, covering topics such as awareness and breast self exam. View our calendar to find out what’s on now.
